On Saturday afternoon, August 29, 1936. Mr English came in with several birds to have identified. One of these was a Black Duck, Anas rubripes, ?, taken 6 miles East of Gustine, Merced County, May 2, 1936. which he claimed was the second record for the state. Fortunately the bird was banded with No. 34-604158 which will ultimately prove whether the bird occurred naturally in the state or was one of those that have been introduced. He had sent the number in but had not received the data as yet.
I later found to have been banded at Los Gatos, see correct Sept. 17.
